Local Musicians to Shoot Music Video
Wednesday, May 4, 2011 at 10:29AM Lancaster drummer Eric Pingle has been playing in bands, playing in churches, recording CD's and doing marketing and promotional work for bands for over 20 years. He has also started a clothing line with a mission to help fight cancer and he assists local businesses with marketing and social media.
Michael McConaha, Pingle's best friend and lead singer of their on-again-off-again band, Live Bait, has been in Nashville for the past 12 years pursuing a song writing career and for the past 2 years has been working with some of the top song writers in Music City. He has been working closely with Stan Webb who penned Tracy Byrd's 1998 smash hit "I'm From the Country and I Like it That Way".
McConaha's original song, "High On the Hog", recently caught the attention of Hollywood actor/writer/director, Jason Cook, a star on ABC's General Hospital, and he contacted McConaha about doing a music video for the song for national broadcast and radio airplay. McConaha and Pingle immediately began work on a Live Bait reunion concert, to be held in New Lexington, where Jason Cook's crew will film live footage for the video and give Michael and Eric a chance to show the world where they came from and share the experience with the fans who have supported them since the beginning. The second day of filming will take place on set at a location that will be determined soon.
McConaha and Pingle went to Hilltop Recording Studio just north of Nashville on April 24th where they were honored and privileged to have the entire Garth Brooks studio band lay down the music track for "High On the Hog". It was a rare chance for the band to work together on a project outside of Garth Brooks and it also set McConaha and Pingle up for better opportunity at promoting the project to television and radio.
Keep in mind, this is all taking place without the help of a record deal or professional management. They're not even represented by an agent at this point! Needless to say, they are not taking any of this for granted and they are working hard knowing that they are being blessed with a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Over the past couple of years, Eric Pingle and Stix In Time have had a close relationship that is both personal and professional and they will continue to work together throughout this project and beyond. Stix In Time will be involved in the concert and video shoot and Pingle will be playing his Mapex Meridian Birch drum kit and Sabian HH/AAX cymbals he purchased here at our shop. Live Bait will also be using the ZT Lunchbox amp that is locally exclusive to Stix In Time.
Stay tuned here for more updates as we get closer to the event and you can contact us for ticket information as well. The concert/video shoot will be held at the Perry County Fairgrounds Coliseum on June 25th from 8-11pm. Tickets are $10 each and all proceeds from the event will go towards the video budget.
